  A light ruby coloring when poured. Notes of cherry followed by some earthiness and roses. Smooth but very light on the finish.

  Black cherry and plum aromas and flavors with an overall good spice note, even if there is still a trace of pronounced new oak. Good+ weight and length. Good remaining structure nicely supports the sweet fruit, just a slight coarseness to the tannins started coming through with more time in glass.

  Tasted blind. Drank after 1 hour of air in bottle. Casual Burg session at ES BK on a rainy Monday afternoon.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of funky earth, animal, meat, sweet ripe dark red cherries. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity (though clearly not as high as he preceding Pernand-Vergelesses), medium+ alcohol (13.5%), fine medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of black cherries, dark red cherries, sweet red plum, leather, earth, slight meat. Long finish.
  Very good quality. May be bottle variation. Tastes and smells a bit different from the previous 2 bottles I tried before, but still maintains the consistent core of ripe dark red fruit. Naturally I was guessing Cote de Nuits, probably a Gevrey-Chambertin premier Cru from a ripe vintage.

  Somewhat casual session (Kallang Way Extra Space): Tasted blind. Aired for an hour in decanter. Drank over the next 2 hours.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of Bandung-like rose petals, brambles, garden earth, sweet spices, dark red cherries. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), fine but grippy high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red cherries, sweet red plums, sweet floral spices, earth, hint of mushrooms emerging.
  Long finish. Barring the nice weirdly elegant floral feminine nose, the palate was quite definitely Pinot Noir, in a masculine style. Unable to put an appellation to this Burgundy on blind taste.
  Very good quality. Ready to fire now with a short decant. No need for further ageing. Although I love the nose, and this is probably one the most floral Red Burgs I have tasted before, I will minus 1 point because no way I imagine a Gevrey 1er Cru smelling like that.
